Replay Lite Fix 18/12/2008

hi fergus, do you know what the likelyhood of a fix for the replay or eurovox coming out in dublin is... i heard a rumour the company closed down dunno how true it is

 

they dont make the replay any more so the likely hood of it been fixed is zero

the eurovox and starview is the same the likely hood of them been fixed is about the same all though they do still make them and are still selling them in the uk

 

My neighbour has a Reply Lite for the past 10 months in The Peoples Republic on C%^$*s which has been acting up recently. Last week all bar 2 channels were suddnely scrambled and I couldn't acces the 'Current Key' page. When I tried to select this page the screen would just flash. I flashed the box agian with first the 742A and the the 910 bin files as this was the way I did it originally and managed to get all the channels back. It was working fine since then (could also access the 'current key' page) but again this morning all channels are gone and the 'current key' page can't be accessed. Anyone else come across this problem before or is the box fit for the bin?

 

if he is using a splitter his signal is not strong enough to maintain all the channels could also be a faulty remote

unplug the box and then plug back in and see what happens

 

No splitter involved and when I tried it in my place I had the same problem. Took me a few attempts to get it to flash correctly last week before all the channels came back.

 

if the box has been working you dont need to keep flashing it as that is going to make no difference

so either it has a tuner problem or your remote is busted

 

The remote is Ok so it may be a problem with the tuner. By tuner I presume that's the internal bits of the box. Is there anyway of repairing/checking this or is it a case of buying a replacment box?
I'll try my Starview in his place tomorrow to make sure the feed in is OK.

 

no its not possible to repair it as there would be no parts available as they no longer make that box so parts and support for it is no longer available

 

Ok then, I'll tell him he'll have to get a replacment.
Thanks Fergus

 

Hi, we didn't actually do a recent firmware update after doing the 9.10 last year as just didn't get round to it & we found that we could get the necessary info pretty easily to get channels back on track (if you see what I mean)However I've seen channels move around etc & lost S&tnta, but some new channels cropped up where old ones had disappeared. This week though, I've noticed 'TMC' movie channel dissappear which I'm not happy about as well as free to view channels such as e4 go as well! D'you think its best to leave updating firmware for now & just do a new full on scan? All the posts I've managed to find about new firmware have hinted not to bother just yet....I'm in south wales and have v!rGheen media as my provider. The regulars like Brian & Gman seem to be saying hold off on new firmware, just do a full scan. D'you reckon this is the best thing to do as for some reason this round of firmware has me a bit bamboozled.
Thanks in advance guys

 

if you are in Ireland no firmware or anything else will work to get the channels back

you need new firmware made and since that box is no longer made there is no support for it any longer so when its gone thats it

 

Don't know if one of my usual saviours can assist at all (in the morning!) but as I said earlier the last time we updated was last 2008 April using Brian's guide which was all hunky dory.
I've read through 20 pages of posts & can see there is new firmware but because it's been a while since I did it last, I am confused as earlier posts tell me not to update due to errors etc, later posts mention putting on the 2033318 (or whatever it is update). Would that be the right one to put on? I have the 9.10 & at the time also did the 42a as advised by Brian, Gman etc. Since the last kerfuffle in April 2008 I didn't update due to confusion in the early thread pages & also being able to input the thing which dare not speak it's name fairly easily. From where I am now, do I need to update again? Do I need to put on the 42a or anything else beforehand? What Stblink do I use? And what freq do I scan at? Sorry for being such a pain, I've read every post on this thread & am trying to glean definitive answers from them...but some peeps say different things. I'm a year older today hence nearer to brain cells crumbling, so any pointers from those who know their onions would be massively appreciated. Ta

 

this is the last firmware available for that box

ReplayLite-28122008.bin

you will have to find that on the eko site

if you are in ireland its not going to make any difference ok

use the 5.20 stb loader to load it

 

Fergus, another friends Replay Lite has gone down with the same symptons in the Peoples Rupublic, all bar 3 or 5 channels showing as NA:Scrambeled. Can no longer acces the Current Key screen. I can access the screen with the three options Current Key, Nagra and Reset but when I select the Current Key option the screen just flashes and you can see Key Data in the top left of the screen for a split second before it goes back to the screen with the three options. Both box's were baught around the same time so it looks is if they had a limited life span. Very starnge !!

 

What firmwre are you on?
I've noticed that same problem with certain firmwares, make sure you are on the latest and you should never need to access that screen

 

Both were using the Replay_Lite_new_OSD_910_beta from October last year. When I originally got them for the folks last year I had to first put on the 742A version then the 910 as I had a similar problem accessing the Current Key page to switch off/on the Auto update (see thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/232/502990) but got sorted with help from Gman, Brain and Evastar. Tried repeating the same steps but no good, even with the latest firmware from 281208. The red button option to access Key Manager is available but it won't let be in to the current key page. I can access the Nagra option OK.

 

Hi all,
Is there any other box working on ntl dublin now that the replay has gone?

cheers.

 

Found other thread sorry for post.

 

hi all, both my weeplay lite boxes shut off within minutes of each other. both now have solid red light. can the virgil media fry boxes like this or am i just unlucky? everything was ok an hour ago till then.

 

i have a replay lite which my daughter could no longer use but unfortunately it had no channels programmed so sifting through this site i have attempted all the obvious things.....ie manually changing codes,symbol rates etc etc,then finally buying a null modem cable and flashing which after a few attempts proved successful.However i do a channel scan and get absolutely zero.the only thing i have not been able to access is the current key menu which i assume the emu can be changed? I am now about to drop kick this machine unless there is a kind soul that might be able to finger the problem.If you have got this far many thanks for taking the time to read and if you have any advice i would be extremely grateful.
